BRANDED.

The Story of a Brother’s” Revenge. ‘It won't last long! Can you bear it, baby?’ and with a wild look in her great, brown eyes, she clasped the wee thing tighter to her breast and went rapidly toward the rock ledge that hung over the ocean She had played here a thousand times in her childhood ; had watched the tide creep lazily in and out on a summer’s day, or wild and tempestuous, dash ships with their precious lives upon the rocks.

The ocean was like a lover it could be all things.

‘Will it be very cold for the baby— my baby—his baby ? Will he mind it much?’ The birds sang sweetly, and brought up the breath of the violets. For a moment she faltered. If life were only birds and blossoms, but it was not, and with a last kiss on her baby, anda death-like grasp, a leap, a struggle, and all was over.

Missing.

Grace Reeverly was missing, but the ocean told no tales.

The little Atlantic village was stirred from centre to circumference. A lovely girl, confiiding in nature and pure as the snow she had been the pet and pride of the townfolk. Her voice was clearest in the choir of the little church; her hand was gentlest on the head of the poorest and roughest child, and the village schoolmaster thought she repaid his teaching a thousand fold by her intelligence.

There had come a young physician of good family to the town, a young man of manly physique and agreeable manners. Acquaintance grew into love and the good people looked on with joy, that providentially their loved one had found one worthy of ber. He had been trained in city ways. Kither woman was not a sacred thing to him, or.matching her artlessnes with his art. he judged wrongfully when he tested her virtue by her self-forgetting love. Perhaps it was not true as But- fon says, ‘that every man has his price.’ All may not fall under the strongest temptation, but most err because they blindly trust a leader who leads over a precipice. Is there no remedy. Mothers must do more than they have. Girls must know that life is full of quicksands, and boys that virtue is of God, and the destroyer of it, if not al- ways punished here, will meet a de- served hell hereafter. ;

Missing ! The whole town knew the atory ; how he had deserted her, claim- ing that a woman who could be won was unworthy of him; how Grace and heraged mother wept and prayed ; how, when the baby came, she hid its darling face against her breast, so that nobody ever looked upon it save the mother, for, beautiful though it was, it had his face; how the spring-time came and the fresh May mornings, but no color came to her whitened cheeks, but a strange, unusual brilliancy into her eyes, and then the old mother was alone !

Everybody was questioned, but no- body had seen her. The aged woman crept down to the ocean day by day, but the tide came in bringing only sea weed and empty shells. One morning, far up the beach, kindly hidden from sun and storm, under a clump of trees, some boys at play found the missing once. Her child was held fast in her arms. ‘The sea weed was wound in and out as though to bind the hands still closer, lest the weakness of death un- locked them and let go her treasure.

The town had a common sorrow, At the burial, the little church was crowd- ed. All the way to the graveyard that lay just above the sea, where the waves sang constantly above the sleep- ers, there was an unbroken procession. From that day no woman ever spoke to the young physician. He walked the streets unnoticed. He carried himself less proudly. Circumstances would compel him to seek another home ‘Strange that in a country town a

woman was so highly prized,’ he thought. The world was not all thus.

The aged mother soon lay besides Grace and her baby.

The good ship Betsy heaves in sight. The news went like wildfire through the town. The whales of Capt Reev- erly (Grace’s own brother) had been on a ten year’s cruise. The crew were wild with joy, swung their handker- chiefs long befo.e they got into port, hardly waiting for the plank, and fair- ly embracing every person who came within"tke'r:each. The people whis pered among themselves. Who could tell the captain what those ten years had brought? Nobody! After a few hurried directions, the bluff and gener- ous-hearted{captain started eagerly te- ward the dear old home. The old lady in the next house had stolen over, un locked the door and gone back again How light his step was as he went over the threshold. How natural every- thing looked.

‘Mother! Grace !’ No answer. ‘Nota very warm welcome to a

’ [homeless fellow ten years away !’ he

(said. ‘The old lady had — in. ‘Your mother’s gone, Captain. I

hoped you'd heerd on’s afore you got here. Wonderful good women! Such clean houses, and so good to me! She was allus askin’ me to a cup 0’ tea. Never had nothin’ go to my heart so since my John died !

‘ Add where’s Grace ?’

- She and her baby’s lyin’ aside her !’ and then, between her sobs, the kind old woman told the pitiful story.

George Reeverly’s eyes grew very black and his lips very white. He went straightway to the new graves, and with curses in his heart, ho wept like a child. And that man had been the cause! There was much talk in the village, but the captain kept his own thoughts.

The Betsy was ready much sooner than usual for the next trip. The captain never seemed so anxious to be away from the town. Some lumber

corn, potates and unground flour, but why, the men could not divine. The jnight for starting came. There was a knock at the door of the young phy- sician, who was just preparing to leave the village. ‘You are to go on a jour- ney;’ said the captain. ‘Take your clothes and books if you want ’em.’ (Conclusion in our next. )

The Greatest Medical Diseovery sinee the Creation ef Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time whon the heal- ing of so many different diseases has deen eanused by outward pepnesiion as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porous PLASTERS are pin sane em by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and reguire to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘mstaut one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoreughly tested and well know the effect of Capsieum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan-

es in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effeeted by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTSRS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and baek, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and ou want a certain eure, ask your druggist for 2R. MBLVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You ean hardly believe f pw own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will soll hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVrx’s CAPst- cum POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas,
